Poem: Caught Betwixt

I came across a journal containing a few of my poems yesterday, scribbled down in pensive moments many years ago. This poem was written in September 1986 … less than a year after reluctantly leaving my beloved Africa. I cannot recall whether this was personal or a reflective observation, but have no doubt that I would at some time have known the emotion.

Caught Betwixt

Beating on the shore of a sensitive ocean
Lashing waves of tumultuous emotion
Deepest feelings, passionately wild
Rhythmically drumming in the heart of this child.

About the Author

Drawing on personal experience of life lived on three continents thus far, I write on how to live life excellently.
My writing addresses leadership and life principles, incorporating fundamental values for success, mindfulness, faith and spirituality. Subjects covered are wide ranging ~ from autobiography to the business of life in general; from raising young people to matters of brain, health and wellbeing; from natural lifestyle choices to matters of heart, home and environment. Sustainability in real terms is always at the core of my approach. My passion is for positive outcomes in all areas of life, with firm foundations, boundaries and respect being paramount elements of success.
I am intentional about living a life based on love and an awareness of the connectedness of all things. Our actions have results and we are each responsible for the fruit of our lives. It is my hope that my writing will empower others to live their own best lives, with courage, integrity and love at the core of all that we think, do and create. ♥
